Fluorspar and Applications

5

• Fluorspar is the commercial name for the mineral fluorite, composed of calcium and fluorine

(CaF2)

• Fluorspar is the predominant commercial source for the chemical element fluorine

• Fluorine is a non-metallic element and the lightest of the halogens and is therefore largely

irreplaceable

• Two principal commercial grades:

➢ Metallurgical grade/Met-spar (60-96% CaF2)

➢ Acid grade/Acid-spar (+97% CaF2)

• Major Producing regions: China (>50% world’s production); Mexico; Mongolia/CIS; South Africa;

Vietnam

• Major consuming regions (highest to lowest): China; North America; Europe; Mexico; Russia

• Key western acid-spar consumers: Chemours, Honeywell, Solvay, Lanxess, Fluorsid, DDF,

Fluorchemie

• Overall long-term upward trend in price

• Since the global financial crisis in 2009 until

2017 contraction in acid-spar demand driven

by a combination of environmental legislation

and demand resulting in a short-term

downward trend in price

• In 2017 prices for acid-spar have started to

recover in China and more recently in

Europe, key drivers being:

➢ Increase in production of downstream value-added fluorspar products

➢ As China moves its focus to environmental protection they have implemented strict environmental

policies and permitting requirements resulting in a number of fluorspar mines closing – Chinese fluorspar

production down 13% year on year in 2017

Outlook and Strategic Opportunity

• Industry view (producers, end users, analysts): demand and price will increase by 4-5% per year over the

next five years

• No large scale commercial alternative or recycling

• Refrigeration – new generation of zero ozone depleting potential (ODP) and very low global warming

potential (GWP) refrigerants, hydrofluoroolefins (HFO’s) - Driven by environmental legislation, most recently

the Kigali Amendment: 170 nations agreed to phase down low ODP, high GWP Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s)

• Energy reduction in the steel and aluminium industry

• Emerging uses - fluoropolymers in lithium batteries for example

• Permanent mine closures – removing capacity from the market

• China fluorspar exports have continued to decline with acid-spar exports decreasing >50% since 2011

driven by increasing internal demand and production/export restrictions – supply gap and potentially a

future net importer

• Western Europe and North America (USA imports 100% of its fluorspar) are the largest acid-spar

consuming regions outside China, importing more than 900,000 tonnes per year

• North America and Europe face the potential risk of security of supply

• Fluorspar is classified as a Critical Raw Material by the European Commission – high risk of supply

shortage and consequent impact on the economy

• USA considers fluorspar as a strategic mineral, China listed fluorspar as a strategic mineral in 2017

• Based on macroeconomic drivers the Company continues to be strategically placed to capitalise on the supply

gap in the future by developing its 100% owned large fluorspar assets, containing fluorspar resources of

13.1 million tonnes, located in the USA and Europe

• Three 100% owned fluorspar projects strategically located

in the USA and Europe

• Maintained momentum with the development of its projects

through the mining cycle in line with its aims and strategy

• The Company has continued to increase its fluorspar Mineral

Resource asset since 2011 – currently 13.1 million tonnes

of contained fluorspar (JORC compliant)

Highlights

• 25-year Exploitation (Mine) Permit approved by the Swedish Mining

Inspectorate (Bergsstaten) – Feb 2016

• Appeals lodged against Permit decision: Sami Reindeer Husbandry

Community and Urbergsgruppen received by the Swedish Government

• New case law for Sweden in 2016: Norra Karr rare earth deposit owned by

Leading Edge Minerals (formerly Tasman Metals) had its Mine Permit revoked by

the Supreme Administrative Court

• The Norra Karr Mine Permit was revoked on the basis that the Environmental

Impact Assessment (EIA) did not sufficiently assess the impact of mining on the

wider area beyond the Mineral Deposit

• The Government returned the Tertiary Mine Permit case to the Swedish Mining

Inspectorate in Dec 2016 for re-assessment in light of the Norra Karr case

• In response to stakeholder responses the Swedish Mining Inspectorate have

requested further detail from the Company in relation to impact of proposed

operations on the wider area – granted extension until 16 April 2018 to prepare

and submit

• Whilst the Company remains hopeful of a positive resolution in 2018 and the

original Mine Permit application and EIA prepared by Tertiary is of a very high

standard, the Company has no influence on the speed at which the re-assessment

of the grant of the Mine Permit is being processed by Authorities

Looking Forward to 20181

• Metallurgical testwork, modelling, optimisation and associated economic evaluation -

key opportunities and challenges:

➢ Metallurgical testwork is underway at SGS Lakefield – ascertain if commercial grade acid-spar

and mica (secondary product – valuable upside) can be produced from the ore

➢ Reasonable possibility that fluorspar grades could increase to the north-west region of the deposit

following field appraisal by world renowned geologist Dr Richard Sillitoe – future drilling target

➢ Project sensitive to transport distance/cost to market

➢ Mineralogy of the deposit is highly variable – metallurgical challenges

• Following successful completion of the testwork and modelling – Scoping Study

targeted for completion in 2018

Note 1: All target schedules are subject to change, funding and successful completion of each phase of work
